President Donald Trump slammed the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision that ruled he does not have the authority to levy sweeping tariffs under a specific emergency powers law, noting he will pursue "alternatives" to tariffs under emergency law.
"Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected," Trump said during a White House press briefing Friday afternoon. "We have alternatives. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We'll take in more money, and we'll be a lot stronger for it. We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We'll continue to do so."
The president also announced he is imposing a 10% "global tariff" following the court's decision.
